Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they didn't do an Xbox and call it something confusing, but I was hoping this console could have it's own identity.

I'm happy for a more powerful Switch, it sounds neat. Still, I kinda was hoping for something more... Nintendo weird.

~~Okay maybe I'm just mad because I was hoping after the Nintendo Switch that we'd be getting a Nintendo Dom and a Nintendo Sub~~

I unironically think the mouse functionality will make this their most creative game library yet (if only because lots of games can safely include a creative mode with controls that don't suck)

but overall I think Nintendo is past making "weird" consoles since the launch of the first switch, the joycons have let them do the big weird stuff in individual games instead (LABO, Ring Fit) and now the joycons have even more functions. weird is coming even if the console seems standard
